    Ever found yourself drooling over the thought of a Wendy's Frosty or an elusive Heath Blizzard? You're not alone! We kick off today's episode by reminiscing about our favorite dessert cravings, poking fun at the scarcity of some beloved fast-food joints, and laughing at Lew's minimalist seasoning style that sparked a flurry of culinary jokes. From the surprising closure of TGI Fridays in Las Vegas to Applebee's tempting $9.99 specials and $1 drinks, we serve up a platter of dining stories that celebrate the quirks and value that make each restaurant experience memorable.

    Feeling like you need a passport just to understand tipping culture these days? We get it, and that's why we've got a lively debate lined up, tackling the etiquette and expectations of tipping, especially when it feels like a handout rather than a reward for stellar service. Comparing different global approaches, including Japan's service fee model, we explore alternatives to navigating this social minefield with humor and practical advice. Whether it's tipping at Jamba Juice or handling automatic gratuity for large groups, our tales of financial savvy and humorous tipping mishaps are sure to resonate.

    And what’s a chat without some pop culture and travel plans? We're buzzing about Kendrick Lamar's upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, imagining the spectacle of a Kite Man spin-off, and sharing our excitement over the evolution of shows like Yellowjackets and The White Lotus. Whether it's tackling the nostalgia of Saturday Night Live or planning adventures in Tokyo and Kyoto, our conversation is a vibrant mix of entertainment, travel, and everything in between. Get ready for an episode that promises a whirlwind of laughter, debates, and a dash of wanderlust!
